FRIENDS Events

Annually in October and in the Spring, Friends Council hosts a morning Friends Coffee and an evening social at a private home.  These are opportunities to welcome new members, share the many contributions made by the council during the year and enjoy a guest speaker, fashion show, decorating ideas or other entertainment.
